1-1-1 Overview
The CX-Integrator is a Programming Device software package that enables reading
the PLC's network and serial network configuration from a personal computer via an
online connection. This enables easily performing many operations, such as
monitoring the connection status of various networks, setting parameters, and
diagnosing networks.
The CX-Integrator can be placed online manually or automatically with the
CS/CJ-series PLC to which it is directly connected to enable uploading and monitoring
the network configuration (including device parameters) for that PLC or other network
PLCs for each network.
Direction connection to serial communications using the CompoWay/F protocol is also
possible without going through a PLC. The CompoWay/F network configuration can
be uploaded or automatic connection is possible using the NT Link protocol for
NS-series PTs and CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Furthermore, parameters in slaves on the networks can be set, edited, uploaded, and
downloaded.
Whenever required, network configuration information can be saved in files. The
configuration information in previously saved files can be later compared to the
actually current configuration.
